Put a Fresh Lid on it: Keep it fresher for longer

Let’s face it, most of us have an appetite
for wanting to know that brands are doing their best in the area of
sustainability. Producing sustainable packaging is an area that is closely
aligned with Result Group’s own sustainability goals and corporate social
responsibility.

Not long ago, Result Group was challenged to deliver packaging for table grapes that was user friendly, improved shelf life, protected the product from damage and spoilage, improved overall sustainability and reduced product waste. We managed to meet the brief (and win a few awards along the way) by utilizing Fresh Lid reclosable film. Fresh Lid more than doubled the shelf-life of grapes resulting in an increased consumption window and a reduction of food waste.

So, can an already great product be even better? The answer is
Yes. With innovation as our mandate, we have developed Fresh
Lid 2.0, a re-closable laminated film structure designed to slow respiration
and ageing processes of fresh produce via a new technique called Environmental Modified Atmosphere Packaging (EMAP).

Traditional Modified
Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) uses some form of gas flushing at the filling stage
of production with a mix of usually nitrogen inserted into the pack before
sealing. Environmental Modified Atmosphere Packaging uses materials that are
produced with all natural additives to let the packaging itself do the work
without the need of specialist processes or additional gases to be used.

What sets Fresh Lid
2.0 apart from any other lidding film on the market is the ability to
regenerate the MAP mechanism every time the film is resealed thus continuing food
quality preservation after the first open. The pack itself becomes truly
functional in its ability to be not only easy to open and reclose, but also in
further extending shelf life whilst reducing food waste.

This unique lidding film technology allows
consumers to enjoy their food across multiple servings by peeling and resealing
the packaging without the product losing its taste, texture or appearance
despite repetitive openings. Moreover,
it allows primary producers of fresh food goods to overcome common challenges
in lengthy supply chains when it comes to preserving and extending fresh
produce shelf-life, flavour and aesthetics.

In fact, Fresh Lid 2.0 offers a number of
distinct advantages including:
